Looking for a XS750 tank in good condition.

grizld1, I do appreciate you taking time and measuring the nipple for me. In my build, I'm going for a very specific "look" and I need brass spoke nipples. The chart in my original post is from a German company ( https://www.wws-speichen.de/sortiment/ ) that makes custom spokes and nipples. So...

What is the spoke nipple size for 1975 19" front and 18" rear wheels. I'm trying to source a custom set of nipples but I'm having a hard time with sizes, some are listed as gauge, some are listed with barrel diameter and length Thanks

Thank you Mailman for your comment. This is the type of work I enjoy the most.

Gauges are done... Night view with electroluminecent tape on. Indicators On.

If you are to sell those wheels I may be interested if the price is right

OK

I can do $100 shipped

I've completed the work on the indicator light lenses x 3, including the polish on the inside of the barrel. It was time to start with the box that will hold the lenses. First step was to square off some random round brass stock. In the next step I had to make two pieces out of one. I...

The work with the gauges continues, today I've made a light indicator. This is just a test piece as the final one will need some additional work. It started with a bar stock which I've threaded to 9/16 18. I did 4 of those as I will need them later. In the next step I've a made a...

That would be me, I'm still making a lot of custom brass motorcycle parts. This is my personal project, it would be closer to a cafe racer. My avatar is the bike I've build few years ago.
